ually releasing the clutch pedal. 
3 Release the parking brake.
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,  
because visibility will be reduced, the 
windows may become fogged-up, and  the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be  
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, 
because there may be a layer of water  between the tires and the road sur- 
face, preventing the steering and 
brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive) 
In the following conditions, the engine  
speed may become high while driving. 
This is due to automatic up-shifting con- trol or down-shifting implementation to  
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving 
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is 
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed 
while Sport mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output  (Brake Override System)

Driving
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi- 
cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  brake pedals at the same time dur- 
ing driving, as this may restrain the 
engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or 
depress the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time to hold the  vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  
brake pedals at the same time dur- ing driving, as this may restrain the  
engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch 
pedal is fully depressed. After shift-
ing, do not release the clutch pedal  abruptly. Doing so may damage the  
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces-
sive premature wear or damage to  the clutch, eventually making it diffi- 
cult to accelerate and start off from 
a stop. Have the vehicle inspected  by any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer. 
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch  
pedal or depress it any time other 
than when shifting. Doing so may cause clutch trouble. 
• Do not use any gear other than the  1st gear when starting off and mov- 
ing forward. 
Doing so may damage the clutch. 
• Do not use the clutch pedal to  
adjust vehicle speed. Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other than N,  
make sure to fully depress the 
clutch pedal and stop the vehicle  using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-out the vehicle completely stopped. 
Doing so may damage the clutch, 
transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive) 
Always set the parking brake and shift  
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so 
may cause the vehicl e to move or the  vehicle may accelerate suddenly if  
the accelerator pedal is accidentally 
depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully  in either direction and hold it there  
for an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power  steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to  
avoid damaging the wheels, under-
side of the vehicle, etc.
●Make sure to idle the engine imme-
diately after high-load driving. Stop  the engine only after the  
turbocharger has cooled down.
Failure to do so may cause damage  to the turbocharger.
■If you get a flat tire while driving 
A flat or damaged tire may cause the  
following situations. Hold the steering 
wheel firmly and gradually depress  the brake pedal to slow down the  
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your  vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
